PRICING
Our rates apply to all 3 camps,
subject to access conditions.
Located 1 km from Le camp de base, Le camp d'approche is a hangar converted into an [c]educational[/c] and [c]introductory[/c] center. It offers a space [u-2]specially designed[/u-2] for classes, schools, families, and groups on weekends. Le camp de base members are, of course, welcome to use it as well*!
*All subscriptions and 10-visit passes of Le camp de base are accepted here :)
✦ Our various walls
Three spaces [u-2]to discover[/u-2]
Toddler area
You're never too young to start climbing, which is why we've designed a wall specifically for little monkeys to take their first steps in complete safety.
Bouldering area
A great bouldering wall to gently learn the ropes at your own pace. No ropes or belay equipment needed here—just you, the wall, and the crash pad, of course!
Rope wall
16 ropes reaching 6 meters high, perfect for gaining some altitude and learning the basics of climbing routes and belaying. There are also 4 auto-belay devices available for solo climbing.
✦ WHO, what, when?
[u-2]Hours[/u-2] & Access conditions
Le Camp d'Approche is still under development, which is why we are unable to offer supervised sessions every day.
On weekday evenings, the room is reserved for our classes, which is why it is unavailable.
Le Camp d'Approche is directly connected to Le Camp Avancé (it’s a real rabbit warren in here!), so you can split your session between the two areas. This does not apply to children under 12, who do not have access to the Advanced Camp.
IMPORTANT:
⚠️ After 5:00 PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends, access to the gym is via the Advanced Camp (a 1-minute walk). This also means that you can no longer exit through Le Camp d'Approche.
✅ Le Camp de Base membership and the 10-visit pass are both valid here.
🦎 Independent access
For independent climbers who are capable of ensuring their own safety and that of those accompanying them. You climb at your own risk. You no longer need to book to access the gym, just come as you are!

[c]First visit[/c] to Le camp d'approche
Bouldering is a fun, athletic activity for everyone. To help you plan your visit and ensure a pleasant, respectful experience for all, here is our guide to getting started on the right foot:
You must have an account, even for a trial session or if you are accompanying someone who is a regular. Creating an account allows you to:
- Renew your membership to ensure everything is in order for your visit to Le camp d'approche, as it is currently not possible to do so on-site.
- Book a weekend slot
- Sign a parental consent form for climbers under 16 who wish to climb independently
There is no minimum age to start at Le camp d'approche, however, there are rules.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, with a maximum ratio of 2 children per supervising adult.
Teens aged 12 to 16 inclusive are welcome to climb independently, provided they have parental consent.
• Wearing a T-shirt, top, or sports bra is mandatory.
• Powdered chalk is prohibited at Le camp d'approche. Only liquid chalk is permitted, and please use it sparingly ;)
• The gym has changing rooms and lockers. Please bring a padlock if you wish to lock yours.

Safety & Competence
A climbing gym is not a playground. It is a place for adventure with safety rules that must be followed. By climbing with us, you agree to read and abide by these rules.
- Do not climb in the rope area unless you are roped up and fully competent in safety procedures
- I keep the mats clear, as they are fall zones
- I don't run in the gym, I climb ;)
- I do not leave my children unattended
- I wear appropriate climbing shoes
A gym for climbers of all ages who want to [u-2]reach new heights![/u-2]
✦ café restaurant
For a snack or a drink

- Seasonal lunch
- Sweet treats
